Stunning!
I know Thootjevdk threw his name in the hat before me, but if you ever sell, and he happens to decline first refusal, I'd love a PM to discuss a deal.

That is true horology art. Incredible imagination and superb building abilities. Plus one hell of a tutorial.

KJ2020 brother that is so sick....super props are deserved.
now i can also see what you mean but 2 dozen projects....extremely well done.
also i think with gold text...its just too much. It brings balance to the dial with white text honestly. White indices markers, white DW. it brings just enough balance.
gold text would be overkill IMO design wise. i think this is just the right amount of everything.

Thanks bro. I agree about the white text, though I wasn't sure for a while. But apparently Rolex agrees too. IDK if you saw an earlier post of mine in this thread but the new blue dial for the 126613/8 LBs has all white text now too.

[mention]KJ2020 [/mention] Green and gold is so synonymous with Rolex - the box, the adverts, Wimbledon etc. It would definitely be a winner in the real world!
Appreciate the white text is more legible and in keeping with the modern style but the thing I love about the last blueseys is how close you have to be appreciate the special sparkle of the gold dial print - perhaps a gold dial printing machine should be your next project ; )

Absolutely agreed. White text is the reason I fell in love and pulled the trigger on the 126613LB. I’ve never loved a Sub as much as I do this combo and I have never liked the 116613LB variant.
That being said I hope Rolex one day makes your Ultimatehulk because that green / gold combo is amazing! Even as a two tone it would be insane!

That's a gorgeous piece bro, congrats. I thought seriously about putting my name on the list for one but I'm still so pissed about never getting a gen Hulk after 2 1/2 years waiting that I may never buy another one. I overheard a sales rep at my AD explaining to another customer that now when they get any sports models in they call their preferred customers immediately and most of the time their new inventory is gone in a couple hours. I can't compete with someone who bought a Cellini or leftover YM2 just to become "Preferred".
On another note, I considered doing a TT Hulk and made a mock up photo. But I decided FG would look better. And the more I see the white text, the more I like it.

I still like the gold text dials. Both of these dials are going to be used very soon in upcoming builds.
But putting gold text on an existing dial is no easy task and requires pad printing a freshly painted dial. Unless one is going to dive deeply into that pursuit it makes a lot more sense to pay for a custom dial or be content with what else is available.
